I'd be up for that Stevie, can PM for more details.
Long journey for a lesson on fishing. To be honest with you it's not the best river for fly fishing, really tight. I'm not a pro by any manner of means, but i use a very small rod when the vegetation is low and know how that river works when i'm fishing the fly on it..Hi Mate . I'd be interested in this although I live 200 miles away . i've challenged myself to learn fly fishing next year and am really interested in small river fishing .
The logistics of it might be a bit awkward but i could B and B it the night before .
I freeline a bunch off lobworms on 1tiny treble hook can catch in excess off 40/50 on a good streamAnyone in the Lanarkshire area interested in a free small river fishing lesson. I cant guarantee fish 100% all of the time on the day, but i'll be very surprised if someone after a 2 hour lesson, doesn't go on to catch on a regular basis or even go on to catch that day.
I have Fished small rivers most of my life. well since i was 10. people would be surprised how easy it is to catch fish. The lessons i can teach can be up scaled to large river fishing. principal is the same. Just a bit daunting at times.
I fancy passing on my knowledge to those who have never ever got into fishing rivers or fishing for that matter. Especially the smaller streams.
It would surprise you the size and the fight from the fish in this particular River i have chosen for this lesson.
. Season starts around mid March. Grayling season is on just now, but there is more chance we could be catching Brownies full of eggs. We dont want that. i Prefer to leave the Brownies to do their thing without stressing them out at this time of year to be honest.
No Permits required. I'll bring some rods and show you the basic set ups, though we can knock up a rod bankside with minimal equipment if that's what you desire. I may make a video showing you how i go about small river fishing between now and March in the meantime. Watch this space.
Ps. Fishing from July to late August mid September is a bit of a nightmare as the river get so overgrown and it requires waders to get a half decent crack at it at times.
I have had 15 brownies from this river in a few hours in the past. but that was perfect conditions and chest deep with the waders on. The most i would expect is one trout for every run if fished the way i teach you, but given the overhangs in high summer the runs are few and far between unless you are prepared to get in the water. It will be worth it though.
Another Survival skill in the bag.
Fire in if you are interested.
If anything it will be something different for some of you guys and girls who have never tried Small river/burn/stream trout fishing and
eating the blighters while they are as fresh as is the bonus.
Cheer....Stevie. Let me know.
